Every month I play a game with my word count goals. April is the month of 40,000 words. I need at average 1,334 words a day to meet my total count. I have been behind for the last week, ever since the Jubilee Writer's Conference. So far, I have written approximately 300 words and my eyes threaten to close on me.
Hopefully, work will be exceedingly boring tomorrow morning. (4am, anybody?!) I must make up today's quota, plus the words I'm behind on, plus that current daily requirement.
May is 100 words a day. The theory is I've just pushed myself to cram 40,000 words into 31 days while working a day job that consists of 84 hours a week. 100 words a day is easy comparison and usually stimulates me to write more. February was the last 100/day month and I knocked it out the entire 2,800 in two days plus caught up on the words I was behind on from January.
Overall I'm ahead of the game. I have to work harder to keep it that way.
My brain is fried.
